2  S  THE    SOtJTHE^N    ALMANAC. 

Explanations  and  Directions. 

The  calculations  of  this  Almanac  are  all  in  Mean  Tmik*. 
This  is  the  time  which  is  now  generally  used  in  the  best  Alma- 
nacs, and  according  to  which  daily  events  are  registered  in  all 
civilized  countries. 

The  principal  calendar,  which  is-calculated  for  the  horizon  of 
Charleston,  S.  C,  will  answer  for  the  whole  Confederacy,  except 
the  more  Northern  or  Southern  States. 

By  means,  however,  of  a  small  table,  to  be  found  at  the  foot 
of  each  page  of  the  calendar,  the  rising  and  setting  of  the  Sun 
may  be  found,  at  a  glance,  for  any  place  in  the  whole  Confede- 
racy, with  more  than  usual  accuracy.  Let  it  be  remembered 
that  it  is  difference  of  latitude  that  principally  affects  the  time 
of  the  Sun's  rising  and  setting,  and  that  a  difference  of  longi- 
tude within  the  limits  of  the  Confederate  States  makes  no 
difference  worthy  of  notice  in  the  time  of  the  Sun's  rising  and 
setting.  Now,  this  Almanac  shows  the  time  of  Sun's  rising 
and  setting  for  five  different  latitudes,  viz  :  of  Charleston,  S.  C, 
Raleigh,  N.  C,  Richmond,  Mobile  and  Columbia,  S.  C.  Hence, 
when  you  wish  to  be  quite  accurate,  consider  with  which  of 
these  places  your  own  most  nearly  agrees  in  latitude,  and  use 
the  time  of  that  place  accordingly. 

The  calendar,  on  inspection,  will  explain  itself,  but  to  make 
it  still  clearer,  some  examples  are  added  here :  What  is  the  time 
of  sunrise  at  Richmond,  Jan.  22d  ?  Looking  in  the  table  at  the 
foot  of  the  page  for  January,  under  22d  day,  reading  from  left 
to  right,  we  see  there  must  be  added,  for  Richmond,  10  min- 
utes. 10  minutes  added  to  *7h.  2m.  (the  time  in  the  calendar 
for  that  day)  gives  Yh.  12ra.  for  Sun's  rising  at  Richmond. 

For  sunset  pursue  the  same  method — only  read  the  small 
table  from  right  to  left:  What  is  the  time  of  sunset  at  Rich- 
mond Jan.  22d?  Entering  the  same  table,  and  reading  from 
right  to  left,  we  see  that  10  minutes  must  be  deducted  from 
the  calendar  time  of  sunset,  which  is  5h.  22m.  The  Sun  will 
•then  set  at  Richmond  at  5h.  12m.' 

When  the  given  date  is  not  in  the  small  table,  take  the  cor- 
rection for  the  nearest  date.  Thus,  for  Jan.  10th  take  as  the 
correction  for  Richmond  12m.,  that  being  the  correction  for 
Jan.  8th. 

By  the  same  small  table  the  length  of  the  day  may  be  cor- 
rected for  the  different  latitudes  by  observing  this  rule :  If  the 
Sun  rises  earlier,  increase  the  length  of  the  day  by  double  the 
number  of  minutes  it  is  earlier ;  if  it  rises  later,  diminish  the 
length  of  the  day  by  double  the  number  of  minutes  it  is  later. 

It  is  the  rising  and  setting  of  the  Sun's  centre,  corrected  for 
refraction,  that  are  given  in  this  Almanac.

Rising,  &c.  of  Moon,  Planets  and  Stars. 

When  the  Moon  rises  or  sets  in  the  day  time,  her  rising  or 
setting  is  not  given  ;  when,  therefore,  the  setting  is  given,  un- 
derstand that  she  rises  some  time  in  the  preceding  daylight; 
and  when  her  rising  is  given,  that  she  sets  some  time  in  the 
following  daylight. 

As  a  star  rises,  souths  and  sets  about  4  minutes  sooner  every- 
day, it  will  be  easy  to  find  the  times  of  rising,  southing  and 
setting  at  different  dates  from  those  given  in  the  Almanac.  It 
will  be  sufficiently  accurate,  for  common  purposes,  to  calculate 
by  this  rule  the  times  of  rising,  etc.,  of  a  star  for  several  weeks 
preceding  or  following  any  given  rising,  etc.  The  same  rule 
will  apply  to  the  planets  Jupiter,  Saturn  and  Mars. 

How  to  Set  a  Time  Piece. 

First  Method. — Those  who  have  a  dial  or  noon-mark  should 
proceed  thus:  When  the  Sun's  shadow  falls  upon  the  noon- 
mark,  set  the  clock  or  watch  to  the  time  given  in  the  column 
headed  "Sun  on  Merid."  This  column  shows  the  Mean  Time 
when  the  Sun  culminates  or  i3  on  the  meridian  ;  which  time  of 
culmination  is  generally  before  or  after  12  o'clock,  but  never 
deviates  from  12  o'clock  by  more  than  about  16  minutes. 

Second  Method. — When  the  Sun  is  observed  to  be  rising  or 
Betting,  set  the  clock  to  the  time  of  rising  or  setting  as  given 
in  the  Almanac  for  that  day. 

The  second  method  is  not  so  accurate  for  several  reasons. 
Objects  in  the  horizon  may  prevent  our  observing  the  exact 
time  of  rising  or  setting.  Moreover,  the  time  given  in  the 
Almanac  is  accurately  true  only  for  the  latitudes  for  which  the 
calculations  are  made. 

N.  B. — By  the  above  method  i3  kept  Mean  Time.  There  is,  how- 
ever, another  mode  of  setting  time  pieces  and  reckoniog  time,  which,  at 
some  periods  of  the  year,  differs  from.  Mean  Time  as  much- as  16  min- 
utes. This  other  mode  considers  it  12  o'clock  every  day  wfren  the  Sua 
is  on  the  meridian  or  the  shadow  falls  at  the  noon  mark,  and  time  so 
reckoned  is  called  Apparent  Time. 

If  it  is  desired  to  keep  Apparent  Time,  set  the  time  piece  to  12 
o'clock,  every  day,  when  the  shadow  falls  upon  the  noon-mark.  Or,  in 
using  this  Almauac,  if  you  set  the  time  piece  by  the  rising  or  setting 
of  the  Sun,  you  must  add  to,  or  subtract  from,  the  time  given,  according 
as  the  Sun  is  fast  or  slow  ;  and  how  much  the  Sun  is  slow  or  fast  ia 
shown  by  the  column  headed  "  Sun  on  Merid."  Thus,  Jan.  17th  the 
Sun  is  slow  10  minutes,  because  it  comes  to  the  meridian  10  minutes 
after  12,  Mean  Time.  Hence,  subtract  10  minutes  from  the  rising  and 
Betting  giren  in  the  Almanac  for  that  day,  and  you  have  the  Apparent 
Time  of  rising  or  setting.  Hence,  at  Charleston,  Jan.  I7tb,  the  Sun 
rises  at  Gh.  53m.,  and  sets  at  5h.  10m.,  Apparent  Time.  In  like  manner, 
if  the  Suu  is  fast,  add.  Thus,  Oct.  8th  the  Sun  is  on  the  meridian  at 
lib.  47iu.;  that  is,  it  is  13  minutes  fast.  Hence,  add  13  minutes  to  the 
rising  and  setting  given  for  that  day,  to  obtain  Apparent  Time  of  rising 
or  setting.

To  Make  a  Noon-Mark. 

A  time  piece  cannot  be  very  accurately  set  without  a  Noon- 
Mark.  To  make  such  a  mark,  it  is  necessary  to  mark  on  some 
surface  a  meridiau  line— that  is,  a  line  due  North  and  South — 
and  to  have  a  perpendicular  object  at  the  South  end  of  this 
line,  to  cast  the  shadow  of  the  San.  The  meridian  line  may 
be  marked  by  a  Surveyor's  Compass,  provided  allowance  be 
made  for  the  variation  of  the  needle ;  for  which  purpose  the 
following  table  is  added  : 

TLACE  VARIATION]       PLACE  VARIATION  I       PLACE  VARIATION 

Richmond..  H°  WeitlMirfedgeville.^i0  East  (New-  Orleans.  .1  °  East 

Raleigh 0  INashville 5f     East I  Little  Rock. .  .8£    East 

Charleston .  .1 1     East  |  Tuscaloosa .'; .  6       East  |  Austin 9£     East 

For  intervening  places  the  approximate  variation  may  be 
found  by  proportion  with  sufficient  accuracy.  Thus,  the  dis- 
tance westward  from  Charleston  to  Milledgeville  makes  a  differ- 
ence of  2|°  in  the  variation  ;  therefore,  for  a  less  distance  make 
the  difference  of  variation  proportional  to  the  distance. 

If  the  edge  of  some  perpendicular  object  is  used  to  cast  tbe 
shadow,  this  caution  is  to  be  observed  :  If  the  shadow  is  cast 
by  the  western  edge,  it  will  fall  on  the  meridian  line  one  min- 
ute before  the  Sun  (that  is,  the  Sun's  centre)  is  on  the  meridian  ; 
if  by  the  eastern  edge,  one  minute  after  it  is  on  the  meridian. 
This  rule  being  observed,  it  will  be  easy,  after  the  meridian 
line  is  marked,  to  mark  the  line  on  which  the  shadow  falls  tbe 
moment  the  Sun  is  on  the  meridian, 


Mean  Time  and  Apparent  Time. 
The  calculations  of  this  Almanac  are  in  Mean  Time— which 
is  the  time  that  a  well-regulated  clock  should  show.  Apparent 
Time  is  that  which  considers  it  as  12  o'clock,  every  day,  when 
the  Sun  culminates,  or  is  in  the  mid-heavens,  or  on  the  meridian, 
these  being  three  various  expressions  for  the  same  thing.  Ap- 
parent Time  thus  reckons  the  hours  from  the  moment  when 
the  Sun  culminates  each  day.  To  this  method,  as  natural, 
there  would  be  no  objection  if  the  natural  days  were  equal  in 
length — the  natural  day  being  the  time  from  one' culmination 
of  the  Sun  to  the  next.  The  natural  days,  however,  are  not 
equal,  though  nearly  so,  the  maximum  deviation  of  a  single 
day  from  the  average  length  being  about  half  a.  minute ;  but 
the  deviation  is  constantly  and  gradually  shifting,  day  after 
day — so  that  scarcely  two  natural  days  in  a  year  are  of  the 
same  length.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  natural  days^continue, 
for  several  months  together,  below  the.average  length,  and  then 
exceed  the  average  fov  several  months,  there  is  an  accumulation 
of  error  in  reckoning  time  by  the  natural  days,  compared  with 
the  reckoning  by  average  days.     This  error  amounts,  at   the 


THE    SOUTHERN    ALMANAC.  O 

maximum,  to  about  16  minutes.  Now,  as  time  pieces  are 
most  easily  constructed  to  run  uniformly,  and  are  so  constructed, 
if  one  were  set  running  so  as  to  mark  off  days  of  the  average 
length,  throughout  the  year,  it  is  evident,  from  what  has  been 
stated,  that  it"  would 'not  ofcen  show  12  o'clock  when  the  San 
culminates,  Such  a  time  piece  agrees  with  Mean  Time— which 
is  the  time  now  generally  used  and  preferred  in  Almanac, 
because  this  is  the  kind  or  time  adopted  by  astronomers,  a j  : 
founded  on  a  fixed  and  uniform  standard,  which  i*<  the  average 
or  mean  day.     The  column  in  the  Almanac  '  '       :  "     m 

Merid."  shows  how  much   Mean  Time   dif    -  '  .  at 

Time,  at  the  moment  the  Sun  is  on  lb  ms  m  t\  day. 

To  keep  Apparent  Time,  it  is  necessary  to  set  the  time 
piece  frequently,  and  this  is  a  serious  objection  to  this  Time. 
But  a  time  piece,  if  it  goes  correctly,  may  run  for  months  or  a 
year  to  Mean  Time,  without  the  necessity  of  resetting  it.

Aspects  of  the  Planets. 

Venus  will  bo  Morning  Star  until  July  21st ;  after  that  date 
Evening  Star  the  rest  of  the  year.  It  will  be  too  near  the  Sun 
to  be  visible  from  about  20th  of  May  to  10th  of  September. 

Mars  will  rise  at  sunset  on  the  28th  of  November,  and  will 
be  visible  soon  after  sunset  for  the  rest  of  the  year. 

Jupiter  will  rise  at  sunset  on  the  11th  of  May,  and  will 
hence  continue  visible  soon  after  sunset,  until  it  approaches  too 
near  the  Sun  to  be  visible,  which  will  be  about  the  10th  of 
November.     It  will  set  with  the  Sun  November  27th. 

Saturn  will  rise  at  sunset  on  the  3d  of  April. 

Mercury,  which  is  rarely  to  be  seen,  will  be  visible,  with  a 
clear  sky,  for  a  few  evenings  about  the  29th  of  April  ;  also, 
about  the  29th  of  August.

;#        Eclipses  in  1864. 

There  will  be  only  two  Eclipses — both  of  the  Sun. 

I.  An  Eclipse  of  the  Sun,  May  the  5th,  visible,  as  a  partial 
Eclipse,  in  Central  and  Western  Texas,  but  in  no  other  part 
of  the  Confederacy.  It  will  begin  at  Austin  near  sunset,  at 
6h.  31m.  P.  M.,  Mean  Time.  Westward  of  Austin  it  will 
begin  sooner,  and  due  West  of  that  place,  on  the  Rio  Grande, 
it  will  be  visible  at  6h.  29m.  P.  M.,  as  an  Eclipse  of  nearly  6 
digits.     This  Eclipse  will  be  total  in  some  parts  of  the  earth. 

II.  An  Eclipse  of  the  Sun,  October  the  30th,  visible,  as  a 
partial  Eclipse,  in  Central  and  Western  Texas,  but  in  no  other 
part  of  the  Confederacy.

Tides. 


The  time  of  High  Water  for  Charleston  Harbor  is  given  in 
the  Almanac.  The  time  for  other  places  named  in  the  Table 
below  may  be  fouud  from  the  time  given  for  Charleston,  by 
adding  to  the  time  for  Charleston,  or  subtracting  from  it,  as 
directed  in  the  Table. 

There  are  two  tides,"  on  an  average,  every  24h.  52m.;  but 
only  one  of  these  is  given,  viz:  that  one  which  first  succeeds 
the  meridian  passage  of  the  Moon.  The  time  of  the  interme- 
diate tides  may  be  found  by  adding  half  the  interval  between 
the  preceding  and  following  to  the  time  of  the  preceding  tide. 

Spring  Tides  occur  about  the  full  or  change  of  the  Moon, 
the  tides  then  rising  highest.  Neap  Tides  occur  about  the 
Quarters,  the  tides  being  then  lowest.. 

In  calculating  the  Tides  for  Charleston  Harbor,  the  "  obser- 
vations "  for  determining  the  "  Establishment  of  the  Port," 
as  published  in  the  "  United  States  Coast  Survey,"  have  been 
used.

TO  KNOW  WHERE  THE  SIGN  IS. 


Opposite  the  day  of  the  month  is  the  Sign  or  Place  of  the  Moon  ; 
then  referring  to  the  foot  of  the  preceding  p^ae>  it  wm  be  seen  what 
part  of  the  body  that  Sign  governs.  The  idea  that  the  Moon's  Pisce 
or  Sign  cau  influence  the  body,  is  derived  from  the  superstitions  of 
ancient  Astrology,  and  ought  not  to  be  entertained. 


22  THE    SOUTHERN    ALMANAC. 

Influence  of  the  Moon  npon  Weather,  &c, 

Though  the  surface  of  the  Full  Mood,  exposed  to  us,  must  necessarily 
be  much  heated — possibly  to  a  degree  much  exceeding  that  of  boiling 
water — yet  we  feel  do  heat  from  it,  and  even  in  the  focus  of  large 
reflectors  it  fails  to  affect  the  thermometer.  No  doubt,  therefore,  its 
heat  (conformably  to  what  has  been  observed  of  that  of  bodies  heated 
below  the  poiut  of  luminosity)  is  much  more  readily  absorbed  in  trav- 
ersing transparent  media  than  direct  solar  heat,  aud  is  extinguished 
in  the  upper  regions  of  our  atmosphere,  never  reaching  the  surface  of 
the  earth  at  all.  Some  probability  is  given  to  this  by  the  tendency  to 
disappearance  of  clouds  under  the  Fidl  Moon — a  meteorological  fact, 
(for  as  such  we  think  it  fully  entitled  to  rank,)  for  which  it  is  necessary 
to  seek  a  cause,  and  for  which  no  other  rational  explanation  seems  to 
offer.  As  for  any  other  influence  of  the  Moon  on  the  weather,  we  have 
no  decisive  evidence  in  its  favor. — HerscheVs  Astronomy. 

M.  Arago  has  shown,  from  a  comparison  of  rain,  registered  as  having 
fallen  during  a  long  period,  that  a  slight  preponderance  in  respect  of 
quantity  falls  near  the  New  Moon,  over  that  which  falls  near  the  Full. 
This  would  be  a  natural  and  necessary  consequence  of  a  preponderance 
of  a  cloudless  sky  about  the  Full,  and  forms,  therefore,  part  and  parcel 
of  the  same  meteorological  fact,  (above  mentioned.) — Ibid,  Note. 

It  is  a  common  belief  that  a  change  of  weather  and  wind  is  to  be 
expected,  if  not  at  every  change  of  the  Moon,  at  least  much  oftener  at 
the  changes  than  in  the  intervals.  This  opinion,  when  not  absolutely 
received  as  true,  is  usually  treated  as  the  extreme  of  absurdity.  It  is, 
in  truth,  neither  the  one  nor  the  other,  as  the  following  considerations 
will  show: 

The  atmosphere  is  continually  undergoing  a  slight  alteration  from 
the  effects  of  the  Tide.  At  New  and  Full  Moon  (or  rather  a  little  after 
these  phenomena)  there  are  those  great  Tides  called  the  Spring  Tides, 
arising  from  the  action  of  both  luminaries  ;  at  the  Quarters  the  same 
luminaries  oppose  each  other,  and  the  Quarters  are  followed  by  the 
smaller  floods,  called  Neap  Tides.  What  effect  may  be  produced  by 
this  succession  of  smaller  aud  greater  oscillations  of  the  sea,  which 
must  produce  oscillations  of  the  atmosphere,  it  is  impossible  to  say 
beforehand.  Again,  we  know  nothing  of  the  electric  action  of  either 
luminary  upon  the  earth,  or  whether  any  or  what  electric  state  may 
depend  on  their  relative  position.  We  have,  therefore,  abundant 
grounds,  a  priori,  to  abstain  from  formiug  any  opinion  on  the  effect  of 
the  heavenly  bodies  upon  the  weather.  So  far,  however,  as  observa- 
tions have  been  made  and  compared,  there  is  no  reason  to  confirm  the 
common  notion  that  a  change  of  the  Moon  is  accompanied  by  a  change 
of  weather.  With  regard  to  a  great  many  other  asserted  effects  of  the 
Moon  upon  animal  and  vegetable  life,  it  can  only  be  said  that  there  is 
no  conclusive  evidence  for  or  against  them  ;  nothing  but  a  loDg  series 
of  observations  can  settle  such  points,  and  this  is  not  likely  to  be  made 
(or  if  made,  to  be  made  fairly.)  by  those  who  have  predetermined  the 
questions  the  one  way  or  the  other. — Penny  Cyclopedia.

THE    SOUTHERN    ALMANAC.  23 

Gardener's  Chronicle. 

JANUARY. — In  the  more  Southern  States  much  may  now  be  done 
in  the  way  of  Gardening — at  least  in  the  preparation  of  the  soil  and 
planting  the  more  hardy  crops.  Radishes  may  be  sown  sparingly  from 
time  to  time.  Trees  and  shrubbery  maybe  transplanted  and  pruned. 
Horse  radish  cuttings   put  out.     .  at  intervals  ;  some  may  be 

frosted,  but  try  it  again.  Sow  cabbages,  Iti'uce,  spinach,  parsley,  beets, 
carrots,  salsafy,  parsnips,  turnips,  asparagus.  Plant  Irish  potatoes. 
Celery  earth  up. 

FEBRUARY. — Plant  peas,  beans.  Sow  cabbage  and  cauliflower 
seed.  Remember,  highly-enriched  and  well-tilled  soil  will  alone  pro- 
duce good  crops  of  the  cabbage  tribe,  which  embraces  the  turnip  and 
ruta  baga.  Transplant  cabbage  plants  from  previous  sowings,  also  the 
lettuce  plants.  Sow  spinach,  radishes,  carrots,  ])arsnips,  salsafy  and 
beets.  Asparagus  beds  re  dress.  Grafting  execute,  if  the  buds  have 
not  started.  Sqicashes  and  melons  plant,  but  have  at  baud  the  means 
of  protection  against  bard  weather.  Early  'com  may  be  planted. 
Plant  Irish  potatoes,  sow  peas,  and  stick  those  of  previous  plantings,  if 
advanced. 

MARCH. — Peas  continue  to  plant.  Cabbage  transplant.  Remember 
to  have  tine  head  cabbage  and  lettuce,  deep  culture  aud  highly-manured 
soil  is  requisite.  Onions  and  leeks  sow.  Potatoes  plant.  Carrots  and 
parsnips  sow,  if  enough  were  not  sown,  last  mouth.  Mustard,  cress 
aud  curled  lettuce,  for  small  salad,  sow  once  a  fortuight.  Tomato  sow 
iu  warm  situation.  Sow  peppers,  melons,  cucumbers,  olra,  squash, 
pumpkins,  celery  and  asparagus.  Strawberry  beds  set  out.  Beans 
plant;  they  thrive  best  where  the  manure  is  broadcast  and  dug  in. 
The  common  practice  of  manuring  iu  the  hill  is  defective  in  dry  sea- 
sons, for  obvious  reasons  ;  indeed,  this  remark  applies  generally  ;  fertil- 
izers should  be  distributed  aud  mixed  with  the  soil  to  enable  vegetables 
to  stand  drought. 

APRIL. — Plant  beans  and  sow  peas.  Transplant  cabbage.  The 
plants  set  out  in  March  will  require  culture.  Deep  tillage  is  demanded 
by  the  cabbage  tribe.  Sow  cauliflower,  broccoli,  carrots,  parmips,  beets. 
Sow  leeks  for  wintev  use.  Lettuce  may  be  transplanted  or  drilled  where 
intended  to  head.  Sow  celery,  plant  more  cucumbers,  melons  and 
squashes.     Okra  sow,  if  not  done  before. 

MAY. — Plant  beans.  Sow  cabbage  for  winter.  Sow  cauliflower, 
broccoli,  radishes,  spinach.  Melons,  cucumbers  aud  squashes  may  be 
put  in.  Corn  plant  for  succession.  Peppers  and  tomato  sow  for  plants 
to  be  set  out  for  later  crops.  Sweet  potato  sprouts  set  out  in  suitable 
weather.  If  carrots  be  sown,  the  ground  should  be  shaded  and  kept 
moist  for  some  time,  or  they  will  be  killed  by  the  sun. 

JUNE. — Plant  beans,  transplant  cabbage,  cauliflowers  and  broccoli  ; 
and  seed  may  be  sown  as  a  succession  for  autumn  headiug,  but  it  ia 
uncertain.  Cucumbers,  melons  and  squashes  may  be  planted.  Sow* 
tomato  for  a  succession.  The  chief  labor  in  the  garden  had  better  be 
directed  to  what  is  already  in  growth  ;  but  few  seeds  sown  in  hot  wea- 
ther in  a  Southern  climate  will  repay  the  trouble. 

JULY. — Plant  beans,  transplant  cabbage,  cauliflower  and  broccoli; 
transplant  leeks  ;  sow  carrots  and  parsnips,  if  needful.  A  few  turnips 
may  be  sown.  Transplant  celery  for  early  supply,  aud  prepare  trench- 
es for  the  main  crop.  Spinach  may  be  sown  towards  the  close  of  the 
month.  Irish  potatoes  plant.  Cucumbers,  for  pickles,  plant.  Sow  the 
ruta  baga  turnip,  which  is  a  most  wholesome  food  for  man  and  beast. 


24  THE    SOUTHERN    ALMANAC, 

i 

Usually,  at  t.r>is  season,  the  extreme  beat  and  drought  make  it  difficult 
to  get  seeds  to  vegetate.  If  failures  occur,  the  oa!y  remedy  is  to  try 
again,  under  more  favorable  circumstances. 

AUGUST. —  Cabbage  sow  to  head  iu  November ;  also  sow,  and  trans- 
plant from  earlier  sowing,  cauliflower,  broccoli,  onions,  for  autumn  ;  car' 
rots,  squash,  rufa  bac/a  sow  for  main  stock,  to  make  up  deficiencies  in 
July  sovviug.  Turnips,  for  table  use,  sow  at  short  intervals.  Radishes 
aud  beets  maybe  sown,  but  it  may  require  several  sowings  before  they 
are  successful,  owing  to  the  heat.  Seeds  directed  to  be  sown  this 
month,  it  may  be  necessary  to  defer  until  the  next,  by  reason  of  heat 
and  drought. 

SEPTEMBER. — Sow  turnips,  ruta  bac/a,  beets,  Swiss  chard,  carrots, 
parsnips,  salsafy,  lettuce,  spinach,  onions,  radishes,  endive.  Plant  beans. 
Transplant  ruta  bagas,  cabbages,  cauliflowers,  broccoli,  celery,  lettuce, 
leeks. 

OCTOBER. — Sow  cabbages,  turnips,  radishes,  carrots,  lettuce,  spinach, 
salsafy,  parsnips,  ruta  baga.  Transplant  cabbages,  cauliflower,  broccoli, 
onions,  lettuce,  leeks  and  endive.  Plant  garlick  and  eschallots.  Aspara- 
gus be  Js  dress.     Strawberries  transplant.    Sow  peas. 

.  NOVEMBER. — Sow  peas ;  if  they  escape  the  frost,  they  will  be 
ready  for  use  in  April.  Sow  cabbage,  carrots,  turnips,  radishes,  lettuce, 
beets,  salsafy.  Transplant  cabbages,  lettuce,  onions  and  leeks.  Asparagus 
beds  dress. , 

DECEMBER. — Sow  peas,  radishes,  carrots,  spinach,  salsafy,  lettuce, 
cabbages,  beets,  parsnips.  Transplant  cabbages,  lettuce  and  onions.  Peas 
may  be  sown  this  month.  Irish  potatoes  may  be  planted  ;  they  will 
come  up  so  early  as  to  have  their  tops  destroyed  by  frost,  but  they  will 
not  be  materially  injured  by  this.  All  seed  sown  during  this  month, 
except  spinach  and  peas,  must  be  protected  during  cold  weather, 
Prune  fruit  trees,  vines,  etc.
